The Barber Saloon was the first ever place I had my hair cut in Melbourne when I was living round…read morethe corner for the first month or so. It is a proper old school barber shop with a no nonsense haircut at a reasonable price. The barber was Italian and was a really talkative bloke, full of beans. For $25 it's a pretty good price for a good haircut. The funniest moment of the whole process was when we pretty much shaved off my eyebrows with the clippers proclaiming that "I'll thank him later". To be fair, he did have a point and it probably needing doing. It was funny that there was no word of warning prior. If I lived closer to the Barber Saloon, I'd definitely be back there.

I cannot wait to try the spray tanning there as well.

The guy who cut my hair listened to what I wanted and I felt confident after the consultation that I was going to get what I asked for and I did. Emma did my colour and did an amazing job! I recommend getting a conditioning treatment as well for the head massage bonus. I felt truly pampered and I left feeling pretty. I love my new look and have already gotten many compliments. Thank you Biba!

The location and feel of the place is cool and relaxed. I walked in chirpy with a grin on my face…read more I walked out disappointed and a little upset that I was misunderstood. Despite the hip, chill vibe of the surroundings the hair stylist didn't listen to me after explaining what I wanted three times over the course of the cut. I've thought long and hard about whether it was my fault for not communicating properly but I've never experienced such an acerbic reaction from a stylist before. I wanted short back and sides with a trimmed beard. Instead I got trimmed back and sides with a short beard. I was so happy and polite when I arrived, I'm not sure why it all went wrong. If a hair stylist doesn't give you what you ask for I can't see why they should charge over $70 for men's cuts. Oh well. I'm going to find a place with stylists who listen before cutting away.

The reason I come back here over and over again is thanks to the compliments I'm constantly receive for my hair. I have long, relatively straight hair that is pretty much good to go as soon as I wake up. This salon has a lovely atmosphere to it, its trendy and hip- and it makes me feel 'cool' for being there. When you enter you are greeted by whoevers at the counter, there's usually a short wait (despite having an appointment booked), and you are always offered some sort of hot beverage. The magazines here are fashionable and new (no who weekly in sight) and the area is kept clean and hair free. I get 'guy' to cut my hair, it gets washed first, then blow dried and finally cut (no wet hair cutting). Usually take close to an hour (including waiting time at the start). I love this place and will probably stick with them forever. The price is definitely on the high side, but I say it's worth it.

Frank is the BEST hairdresser I've ever been to and I've had a few in my life (from LA to Melbourne…read moreand everywhere in-between). He actually listens to what you say, only cuts your hair into a style that suits you and - best of all - doesn't cut in a manner that hastens the onset of split ends. Currently I'm sitting on the opposite side of the world but after some disasters I'll grow out my hair and wait until he can cut it again. The salon itself is hip happening. Sometimes the staff (not Frank) can seem a tad aloof but I think they're getting better and honestly, it's probably just because they're so busy all of the time. The head massages are to die for and make up for any perceived snootiness anyhow. Parking can be a witch, but if you park out in the 2 or 4 hour lots near the train station you'll be right. Do not park in front because if you're even a millisecond late back to the car, you will get fined. I'm told that Rokk Ebony prices are expensive but I think they're reasonable, especially for the great cut you'll walk out with. Can't wait to go back.
